Rhubarb, a spring tonic for vitamin C and calcium, is an easy and versatile fruit to use. One of the drawbacks is that because it is so tart, most recipes call for more sugar than most other desserts. By combining the stalks with sweeter fruits, like strawberries, the sugar content in recipes can be lowered a lot… like this one! Note: This recipe is gluten free, but you can exchange the gluten free flour with wheat flour. Just realize that baking time may need to be a little longer.
